Deadstar raced back into the clearing and leaped onto the rocks near his new den, letting out a yowl as his paws touched the stones. "Cats of DarkClan. Listen, And I will appoint the new deputy. I say these words before StarClan so our ancestors may hear my approve and choice...Tailberry will be the deputy of DarkClan!"

"I, Deadstar, Leader of DarkClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Woollypaw, Hickorypaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"Then by StarClan, I give you both your warrior names." continued Deadstar. "Woollypaw, from this day on, you will be known as Woollyleaf. Hickorypaw, from this day on, you will be known as Hickorybriar. StarClan honors you both and we welcome you as full warriors of DarkClan."
